Milestones in Industry Transformation:

——Silicon Energy:Pioneered the GCL method for polysilicon, breaking foreign monopolies and ending China’s reliance on imported raw materials, markets, and technology. Championed the transition from premium to grid parity and ultra-low cost solar power.

——FBR Granular Silicon: Developed proprietary Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) technology with the industry’s lowest carbon footprint, sparking a new era in photovoltaic materials. Launched the world’s first low-carbon silicon-carbon module, far exceeding green standards.

——Perovskite Innovations: Set global records for largest size and highest conversion efficiency (single-junction/tandem modules); first to pass TüV Rheinland’s 3x IEC stability tests; built the first GW-scale production base; pioneered AI-driven high-throughput R&D; and deployed the first MW-scale demonstration project (Qinghai) stable under extreme climates.

——Full Industry Chains: Integrated photovoltaic and lithium battery storage value chains, mastering disruptive technologies like CCz and GCL-PHY cathode materials. The world’s largest producer of ultra-high-purity silane gas via UCC technology.

——Semiconductor Breakthroughs: Solved China’s "chokepoint" challenge in electronic-grade silicon via the National Major Science Project 02 and MIIT’s Industrial Strengthening Initiative. Sole domestic player capable of mass-producing electronic-grade polysilicon, supplying large-size wafers for 14nm/10nm/7nm chips. Top 3 globally in capacity, #1 in domestic market share. A key "China Core" material supplier for 12-inch wafers.

——Energy Services Pioneer: China’s earliest private power firm, leading in installed capacity (operational/under construction) and clean energy share. Built a smart energy ecosystem via "Generation-Grid-Sales-Consumption-Cloud" integration. A frontrunner in virtual power plants, solar-storage-charging-swapping solutions, energy trading, microgrids, and carbon asset services. Holds national Class-1 Demand-Side Management certification, operates in 13 provinces, and leads in virtual power plant capacity. Ranked #1 in Jiangsu for demand response. A top player in grid-side energy storage, deploying Jiangsu’s first sodium-ion commercial solar-storage project.

——Global Energy Security:Active in Belt and Road energy cooperation, building integrated gas-trading infrastructure. Leverages Ethiopian natural gas resources, domestic LNG terminals, and global supply chains to ensure regional energy autonomy.

Global Expansion: Under its "Green Energy Go Global" initiative, GCL has R&D centers, production bases, and branches across 20+ key markets (North America, Japan, Europe, Singapore, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Thailand, South America, the Middle East, India, Australia, Germany, South Korea, etc.). Its products and solutions serve 70+ countries, establishing GCL as a top low-carbon footprint supplier.

Party Leadership & ESG Commitment: Guided by China’s "Four Revolutions, One Cooperation" energy strategy, GCL aligns its green development with Communist Party principles. Its 16 Party committees, 4 general branches, 115 branches, and 3,500+ members have earned national and provincial honors for exemplary Party-building.

GCL embeds ESG into its sustainability vision and carbon neutrality roadmap via a three-tier governance framework, covering R&D, production, sales, partnerships, and investor relations. It fosters an ESG-driven green ecosystem while advancing industry decarbonization.
